Title: Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Post by: oooog on July 02, 2006, 09:22:50 PM
I recently began playing this game, and became addicted to it.  I later discovered that modifications for the game could be downloaded, i.e. weapons, races, classes, etc.  Well, I got a little carried away, and downloaded a large load of content and accedently downloaded a file that sorta screws up the game.  Now, normally, I would just go in and take it out to fix it:

1.)  I downloaded and installed in bulk, so I don't know what the file was that messed with the game.
2.)  I COULD go through each individual download folder/rar file to locate all of the custom content and remove it, but I deleted a few of them (by the way, a "few" means all.)

Here's where the problem is.

I had the grand idea to:
"Hey!  Why don't I just go into my Data folder and delete all of the content!"

Well, you can guess what happened.  If not, here's the details in a nutshell.   I deleted files that were important, but recovered some and the game is even "screwy-er" than before.  (My character is now comprised of  some freaky eye balls, a mouth, and a a yellowish..orange block, i.e. someone puked and decided to call it a color.).

So, what I need is for some kind person to help me locate the other important files, preferably someone who hasn't used mods, or if they have used mods, a person who knows what the base files are.

I currently have:
Oblivion - Meshes.bsa
Oblivion - Misc.bsa
Oblivion - Sounds.bsa
Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa
Oblivion - Voices1.bsa
Oblivion - Voices2.bsa
Oblivion.esm

These are the files that I believe are important.  I would appreciate any help in locating the other files, or if the files I have are wrong.   Thanks in advance.

I would PM bluhman about this. He's a big fan of the game.

If worst comes to worst, you would have to uninstall and reinstall.. But I don't know much about oblivion so I don't know. Although, a character made of crazy eyes and puke bricks sounds cool.. mind posting a screenshot?

Same thing happened to me once with morrowind. Copy your save files to a differant location, then reinstall the game. Move the save files back into your oblivion folder, and you'll be good to go.

What he said.

If (un)installing doesn't work, download Regcleaner to kill the registry of the game and try again.

Yes. Yes I am. This doesn't mean, however, I know a dang thing about how the game works.

Meh, 2+2 assumption. Just like: I enjoy soccer, hence I also know how the game works.

Well, I discovered the problem, and the solution.

Problem:
Music and Shaders Folders were removed.

Solution:
Install it on another drive.

Lesson learned:
My brother is a jackass.
